Dagens samhälle blir mer och mer IT-centraliserat för varje dag som går samtidigt som IT-systemblir större och komplexare. För att ett IT-system skall kunna överleva måste det finnas användaresom vill använda det. För att användare skall använda ett IT-system måste systemet har tillräcklighög kvalitet så att användare skall kunna lita på systemet. Men vad är kvalitet? Det är svårt attdefiniera begreppet och intill omöjlig att mäta.

This paper addresses the need to review the modern presentation of textile archaeology in museums. It is time to look at textiles in archaeology with new eyes. The reality behind archaeological textilestudy is holistic, embracing many different aspects of society. The presentation of textiles has in my opinion become old-fashioned. I will show in my paper that Jonathan Adams? `seven constraints´ model, developed for research on ancient ships, can also be applied to textile research.

The purpose of this paper was to analyse ?Identity- about trademarks, signs and symbols?. The project was a co-operation between the National museum of Art and Stockholm School of Economics in the spring of 2002, which consisted of an exhibition, a book and a series of seminars. The goal was to illustrate how the trademark had developed through history, which role it has in the modern society and how the trademark serves as a creator of identities. The project, mostly the exhibition, was exposed to criticism, which was directed towards the sponsorship deals between The National Museum of Art and five companies..

This study focuses on why people not longer want to be a part of a religious communion they have earlier been a part of. To examine this I have made seven interviews with people who have left their previous communions. Together with the methodological and theoretical discussions on discourse analysis, Richard Jenkins discussions on identity and theories concerning the post-modern society, I have made an analysis on how these people consider their previous communions and its members. They refer i.e. to the social control, the ?closed? culture and the non-questioning-culture that constitute the communions and its techniques.

Användarmedverkan i systemutvecklingsprocessen har idag en allt viktigare roll vid införande av ett nytt system. Stor vikt placeras på att systemet ska bidra med rätt information vid rätt tidpunkt. För att uppnå det krävs oftast en slutanvändares medverkan i systemutvecklingsprocessen. Flertal undersökningar har utförts med inriktning att söka reda på varför en användare bör vara med, dess positiva och negativa aspekter samt urvalskriterier vid val av slutanvändare.Syftet med arbetet är att jämföra existerande användarmedverkan i systemutvecklingsprocessen med metodologin ETHICS förhållningssätt till användarinvolvering. Det med avgränsningen små-till-medelstora företag(SME).

Metoder är ett välkänt begrepp inom systemutvecklingen. Det finns många olikametoder som kan användas, exempelvis vattenfallsmetoden som tillhör de traditionellametoderna, eller Scrum som tillhör de agila?lättrörliga? metoderna. Faktum är att agilametoder blivit mycket populära sedan derasuppkomst på 90-­?talet.

Vårt mål är att förhöja deltagarnas upplevelse i levande rollspel (även kallat lajv). Idag finns det inga möjligheter att visualisera övernaturliga förmågor. I den här rapporten visar vi ett exempel på hur detta kan realiseras med hjälp av teknik. Vi har inriktat oss på att simulera alvers övernaturliga hörsel. Levande rollspel är mycket känsligt för störningar från ?världen utanför?, exempelvis modern teknik och språk.

Målet med denna uppsats är att ge en översikt av realtidswebb och dess möjligheter från ett tekniskt perspektiv. Nya metoder har tillkommit de senaste åren för att förbättra webbplatsers interaktivitet men sällan kan något nytt introduceras utan att problem uppstår. Vi går igenom vad nya metoder har för användningsområde, vilka problem de löser men även deras brister. Som undersökningsmetod skapade vi en webbapplikation med Meteor, ett JavaScript-ramverk som använder nya webbtekniker för att utveckla realtidsbaserade webbapplikationer. Undersökningen visade att moderna tekniker är effektiva för att utveckla realtidsbaserade webbplatser.

The purpose of this paper is to explore how masculinity and femininity are constructed in the magazine Veckorevyn, through a critical discourse analysis of 18 articles from six issues in 2011. This is done by using a variety of theories and previous research results, which is gender theory, the theory of late-modern society and media theory. The analysis shows that Veckorevyn depicts virility and feminine differently. Furthermore, pointing the results from the analysis that a change of manhood and womanhood takes place in the social practice. The selection of articles from the magazine also shows that Veckorevyn seems to promote gender equality. .

In this essay I have looked more closely at different means of grinding wood prior to the mass production and total dominance of the sandpaper in recent times as there is virtually no information to be found about this. I have also done a few replicas of how early sandpapers might have looked and as a part of creating these replicas I have also tested diffrent types of early glues. The conclusion of it all is that all the alternative grinding materials tested workd virtually as well as modern sandpaper, with some reservations. And the replicas, although rough, worked mostly well despite being constructed with simplicity in mind. This indicates that an artisan could easily construct sandpapers if he so wished..

This report aims to describing the work behind the development of a masonry heater.The masonry heater is developed in collaboration with the company Transient Design KB that is a product development company located in Alingsås. The company sees a possibility to cover a market segment where modern technology and design are missing.The report presents those methods and approaches that have been used and gives an overview to how the project has been carried out. It describes how the ideas behind the final results have produced and how they have been developed during the project's time. In the report you can also read about the final concept with its choices of construction and materials.The report is completed with a presentation of a final concept and a ground for possible future production..
